Reflection

The most destructive habit...............Worry The greatest Joy......................Giving The greatest loss.................Loss of self-respect The most satisfying work..........Helping others The ugliest personality trait...Selfishness The most endangered species...Dedicated leaders Our greatest natural resource...............Our youth The greatest 'shot in the arm'..........Encouragement The greatest problem to overcome..................Fear The most effective sleeping pill........Peace of mind The most crippling failure disease..............Excuses The most powerful force in life..................Love The most dangerous pariah...................A gossiper The world's most incredible computer........The brain The worst thing to be without.................... Hope The deadliest weapon........................The tongue The two most power-filled words................'I Can' The greatest asset...............................Faith The most worthless emotion...................Self-pity The most beautiful attire.......................SMILE! The most prized possession.................Integrity The most powerful channel of communication.....Prayer The most contagious spirit.................Enthusiasm Life ends, when you strop DREAMING. HOPE ends, when you stop BELIEVING. LOVE ends when you stop CARING.
